Cheap Carbon Steel Bandsaw Blade 105" x 3/4 x 3 TPI Review
I installed the blade on my 14 "bandsaw with 6" riser block. I use this saw / Blade mainly for work resumption.
After installing the blade and adjust the guides, I resawed a length of three feet by 8 inches wide Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry AKA). If you've already worked with Jatoba, you know the stuff is hard as nails. The blade sliced through it without a complaint. I was able to maintain a rate of solid foods and the blade tracked true with no noticeable distortion or drift.
If you want a dedicated slide resaws for your saw, this blade would be a good choice.

Carbon Steel Bandsaw Blade 105" x 3/4 x 3 TPI Overview
Fine Woodworking's test of Highland Woodworking's carbon steel bandsaw blade yielded impressive results. This blade was chosen as a top pick for cutting speed and smoothness of cut among a field of 19 quality blades, and won the top honor for flatness of cut. We having been saying for years that this carbon steel blade leaves a smoother kerf than other popular brands we've tested, and their welds are the best we've seen in general-purpose blades. Tooth set is modest, trading just a bit of minimum radius capability for cleaner cutting. The 1/16" blades with pronounced tooth set let these extremely narrow blades literally turn on a point.
